How I wish to win this game.

Just once...

I just want to win for once.

Sir.

Thank you for your guidance.

Today, you just have to look closely...

Imagine yourself as an eagle

standing on the mountaintop

and your eyes are searching

for another pair of eyes.

Koshien!

One, two, three, Koshien!

Shout it out, Koshien!

Hey! Aren't you studying agriculture?

Why don't you learn the weather as well?

The rice has all sprouted.

Where's your strength for training

if your stomach's empty?

Hey, you. Mr. So's son.

Go give your grandma a hand!

I see.

You don't need food but baseball.

One, two, three, Koshien!

Mr. Kozato's son.

When will your father be out of hospital?

Koshien!

When it's time to decide who's chasing who,

spread your wings and fly.

Keep your altitude,

and take everything below in sight,

with sharp eyes and wings spread wide.

Mr. Principal,

can you just spare a bit more money?

Just a little bit will do.

Mr. Kondo.

I'd really like to help you,

but the typhoon has hit the school hard.

I know that,

but the kids have really

put themselves into it.

Please don't rob them of this dream!

Mr. Kondo.

I'm really sorry.

Mr. Principal!

I'm willing to do everything I can.

Mr. Principal!

Listen up.

First,

spread out your arms as wide as you can.

Second,

swoop down at the speed of the light.

Third,

claws out in the blink of an eye.

Fourth,

attack.

May you be happy ever after.

Go light the firecrackers, Akira.

The bride is to ride in the limousine,

accompanied by the bridesgroom.

Congratulations from friends and family

bless the union of two households.

One, two, three, attack.

You're in control of the rhythm

and you're in control of it all.

Hatsuo,

do you really have to train so late?

Raise your feet...

Hatsuo,

we're going back to Osaka.

Why?

I'm unable to work the state I'm in.

Sorry, Hatsuo.

One, two, three, attack.

So what?

Just go buy with this money!

Would you please lower your voice?

I'll pay for it if they won't.

But this is our...

They are my children, too.

If I give up now...

I'll lose to myself again.

It's all right, Kazuko.

I...

I'm not going to defeat myself again.

I'm not going to defeat myself again.

You're getting closer...

Closer and closer to your prey.

But your view is getting broader.

You can even control the wind with ease.

One, two, three, attack...

One, two, three, wait...

One, two, three, attack...

You're in full control of his mind.

One, two, three, wait...

One, two, three, attack...

Give me the ball!

Calm down.

You can't play ball with such recklessness.

Once more!

When are you going to

take a swing if not now?

What are you crying for?

A real man doesn't cry on the field.

Once more!

Sir.

Senpai Kozato can't play in the game.

His family is moving back to Osaka.

Then play like it's Koshien today.

Go!

Pitch like Kozato is your strongest foe.

Pitch!

Go ahead! I want to hear you cheer for me!

Hit a home run, Kozato!

You can make it!

Hit it far and away!

One...

Two...

Three...

Attack!

Watch your step.

Take it slow.

Hey...

I'm calling you.

Come, quickly!

Come take a seat.

Excuse us.

You're welcome! You must be

tired from the training.

Wow, Mr. Hamada.

What did you give to the papayas?

How did they grow this big?

Because I'm an agricultural expert.

Bring some back for everyone.

Eh, me included?

Sure, just take it.

Yes!

Which one should I pick?

How's it going? Is the training going well?

Are you nervous about Koshien next year?

Why is everyone assuming

that we will make it to Koshien?

After all, our team has never won a game.

Son,

what do you think is

different about yourself

in the space of six months?

I feel that I can go to Koshien.

Why do you think so?

Because Mr. Kondo is all

about Koshien every day.

It makes me feel Koshien

must be somewhere near KANO.

Somewhere just across the street.

So it shouldn't be that hard.

Right?

That so'?

Then I have found my rival in Coach Kondo.

Let me tell you a secret

about these papayas.

Come.

Last year,

I planted a nail at the

root of each papaya tree.

After that, each tree has

produced big and tasty fruits.

Look, there's a nail here.

So papayas like the nail?

No, no.

It's because the nail

hammered into the root

made the tree think it's dying.

So it tried very hard to

produce the sweetest fruit,

in order to ensure its own reproduction.

It's the sense of life or death

that made the papaya tree

put everything into its fruits.

Go,

it's your last year at school.

Next year's Koshien is your

final opportunity as well.

Don't you feel the pressure of crisis?

Don't you want to achieve something

like the papaya tree?

Come take a look at this one.

I see. So Mr. Hamada tricks the papaya,

just as Mr. Kondo tricks us.

This is another of my experiments.

Do you see any nail at its root?

This is the only tree

with no nail hammered in.

At first it produced small

fruits like before.

But in just one year,

it has borne sweet fruits

just like everyone else.

Because it was told by

the trees around itself

that only such large

fruits qualify as papayas.

So...

The coach gets you used to Koshien,

and you will start thinking

that's where you belong.

You shouldn't train for Koshien.

You should train to become

the Koshien champion.

Mr. Hamada.

If I get a betel nut seed from my hometown

and plant it in the

coconut grove at school,

will it grow up considering itself coconut

and grow betel nuts as big as coconuts?

Hmm, the athletes are indeed smarter.

You have such a big, bright head.

- What are you doing, sir?

- Let me feel your head, Hirano.

- My hair is getting messy!

- What's the big deal?

I'm fighting back...

Hey, guys!

Kozato! Kozato!

Kozato! Kozato!

Kozato! Kozato!

Guys, I'm back!

Welcome back, Kozato!

Akira.

Akira! Quick!

Come!

Welcome back!

Think hard before you swing at it!

Sinker.

Slider.

One more!

Catch with both hands, one more.

Bring it on!

Think! Think before you swing.

Give it a try!

Slider.

To attack, you must be strong like a tree.

Only then will you muster the firepower.

To defend, you must be soft like grass.

Only then will you move swiftly.

Understood?

Yes, sir!

Don't think about winning.

Think about not losing.

Then you will have all

the strength you need.

It's bad for the eyes to train in the dark.

You really can sew.

Help me sew mine.

Sew it yourselves.

Keep in mind the position of the base.

Don't keep your eyes on it

once you've confirmed it.

Don't step on or kick it

as you catch the ball.

Slide into it and throw it right back.

Baseball is all about rapport.

Don't forget to keep in

sync with your teammates.

Do you hear me?

Yes, sir!

Good, once more!

Let's go.

One, two, three, Koshien!

Louder!

Koshien!

Koshien!

It's water...

It's really water.

Should we make one more round, Akira?

One more round! One more round!

OK, let's do one more round!

The training won't lie.

You will only regret if
